How does trade liberalization affect developing countries with large informal sectors?

Informality fundamentally changes how we think about the gains from trade. (1/5)

[TheoreticalEconomics @EconTheory]

The paper focuses on a single intrinsic difference between physical and digital currency: traceability. This technological advance in record-keeping can be used by the monetary authority to achieve efficiency in a wide range of circumstances https://t.co/it0mmBoYC3

Check out @Leo_BarretoV JMP and his research output. Lots of great quantitative papers in open macroeconomics. He’s a very well trained economist and super easy to collaborate with.

Why did U.S. Consumer Sentiment Index fall as unemployment and inflation returned to normal 2023-24?

@UMN_Econ JMC Leonardo Barreto @Leo_BarretoV builds calibrated dynamic general equilibrium model with rich consumer heterogeneity to answer the question.

Juliana is such an extremely productive researcher in open macro. We shared Tim and Manuel’s workshop in Minnesota. She came up with an impressive third-year paper on quantitative sovereign reputation, another on the allocation puzzle and this awesome JMP.

[Tim Kehoe 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇦 @TimTkehoe]

Should IMF limit foreign borrowing by governments of developing nations?

@UMN_Econ JMC Juliana Gamboa-Arbelaez @julipuligamboa argues any such restrictions need to depend on conditions in the country and how the government spends borrowed funds.

I am writing a letter of recommendation for @dario_cardamone, and I am thrilled to do so!

Dario's JMP studies how sovereign risk shocks—like U.S. debt ceiling crises—affect the real economy even without a default . [continues in next post]

How do global value chains evolve over time?

@UMN_Econ JMC Carlos Bolivar analyzes how firms change intermediate input suppliers in 43-country, 56-industry world trade model with changing transportation costs and stochastic country-industry productivity.

Why is agricultural productivity in India so low?

@UMN_Econ JMC Scott Sommers @scott_sommers56 argues weather shocks magnify land market restrictions as source of misallocation in agriculture. He uses micro data to build model of heterogeneous farmers.
